Hi Allfornun, I have some thoughts on this. If a Victorian property is to be split into smaller units then it should be done properly, in terms of services, sound/fire proofing etc etc. I have come across many bodge jobs that have been put on the market, when looking around, and things should be done properly via planning and building regs. It IS ashame that these properties are broken down however i would be amazed to find a Victorian property worth buying in order to split it even in this climate. ED prices are still expensive....Unless somebody knows otherwise...Estate agents ?
